For some, it\u2019s the impulse that compels us to work hard or create. It\u2019s about love and about lust, a passion that keeps us pushing ever forward. For HTC, the word means mid-range phones. Devices targeted at those who aren\u2019t willing to go full flagship, but want a decent handset nonetheless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">This morning at a (depending where you are, naturally) late-night press conference, the Taiwanese hardware manufacture showed off a pair of new, similarly named additions to its mid-level, the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle and Pro, which, in spite of a seemingly business-minded name, is actually pretty focused on improving its users\u2019 selfie-game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11946\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-New-phone.jpg\" alt=\"Htc New Phone\" width=\"738\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-New-phone.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-New-phone-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">I will say, from the images, at least, HTC\u2019s team has done some lovely design work here, ditching the impulse to crib straight up from Apple\u2019s output. Instead, the company says its new, largely identical offerings are \u201cinspired by Art Deco,\u201d with a nice blend of hardware curvature and boldly pronounced details that outline the sides are rear of the devices, atop matte finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">As its name implies, the Pro looks to be the higher end of the two handsets, bringing 1080p to its 5.5-inch display, to the Lifestyle\u2019s 720p. Inside are up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, versus the Lifestyle\u2019s to 3GB of RAM and 32GB \u2013 both can also be augmented courtesy of on-board microSD slots. The Pro also features a 3,000mAh battery to its slightly less impressive sibling\u2019s 2,700mAh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11944\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-Black-Desire.jpg\" alt=\"Htc Black Desire\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-Black-Desire.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-Black-Desire-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTC-Black-Desire-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">The Pro is the decidedly more camera-focused of the pair, featuring a rear-facing 20-megapixel sensor some key photog features like manual setting adjustments, image stabilization and auto HDR. The thing is also pretty serious about selfies, with a elfie Panorama feature that allows for 150-degree shots of yourself, for whatever reason. Oh, and the rear fingerprint reader (another Pro-only feature) also doubles a selfie snapping button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">As for the Lifestyle, music is the phone\u2019s primary jam. The handset features BoomSound HiFi Edition speakers, which the company refers to as \u201clegendary\u201d and are, at the very least, pretty solid for phone speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">The Lifestyle will hit retail at the end of the month, with the Pro arriving in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Source :<\/strong> https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/09\/20\/htcs-new-midrange-phones-are-focused-on-selfies-and-sound\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/mobile\/htc-new-midrange-phones-are-focused-on-selfies-and-sound.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HTC new midrange phones are focused on selfies and sound HTC new midrange phones are focused on selfies and sound : Desire is, of course, a relative thing*.
